There are far too many low paying jobs in our country that aren't necessary. We should promote jobs that pay a liveable wage and encourage education.
That truly would be the best way for our country. Insane pro growth and massive importation of foreign migrants into this nation just doesn’t blend with the modern context.

We really do need pro family policies, but the reality is that our actual system isn’t merely neutral but the very opposite.

We have to face the fact that the elites fell out of love with everything pro-America and cultural homogeneity in the 1960’s. Reagan and Trump were blips of opposition. That’s 12 years of control vs 36 for the elites, and of those 12, only 50% of policy was truly Pro-America/Americans.

Most people that try to tell you that is not what they really want, are usually lying through their teeth, in my opiniion. Don't listen to what they say. Pay attention to what they do.

Forced diversity does not work. And it shows.
100% completely true. Just look at upper middle class inner city gentrifiers and see who they surround themselves with; both professionally, socioeconomically and yes racially.

The very same people who gave Biden the presidency. Personally seen southern red necks more open to hanging out with others. Hypocrites supreme.

Sounds like someone is being a racist jerk, lumping all GOP together as racists. Apparently also some did not get the memo since albout half the GOP candidates for Pres could be considered "brown people" - Tim Scott, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy along with declared candidates Larry Elder and Will Hurd. You do know that it was the the Repubs that freed the slaves and the Dems that supported the KKK.

Also, the liberal left and ethnocentrics constantly lump illegal aliens along with legal immigrants under the same umbrella of the word of plain ole migrants/immigrants and it doesn't matter what their race or skin color is either. They are two very distinct and different groups and it's done on purpose.

When the Mayflower arrived, Spanish speaking people were already here and they had been speaking Spanish for 42 years.

Great, there are 6 Republicans that aren't White Christians.

The Democrats of today are not the same as the Democrats of the 1860's, who would all be Republicans now. Times change, as do political beliefs.

The problem with the right and the GOP is, as my Dad used to say(he hasn't said much since he died), they don't give a crap about people, especially people who are different than themselves. If they did actually care about people, they would look at what drives people to undertake a dangerous journey across a couple of thousand miles of unfriendly territory instead of just condemning them as "looking for free stuff". The right's ancestors came to America to find a better life, but since they have theirs, they want to stop anyone else from doing the same thing. It's the same attitude that stopped Chinese immigration, treated the Irish badly, looked down on the Italians, all while also being angry that Blacks were freed from slavery.

And what has that to do with the fact that we adopted English as our national de facto language, not Spanish? Before the Spanish arrived there were numerous Amerindian languages spoken here and south of our border. So what's your point?

The Spanish were in the south and southwest. The pilgrims who were on the Mayflower were the English and landed at Plymouth rock in the northeast.

I agree. America should've stayed as it was (demographic wise) 80 years ago. There's too many ethnicities, languages, religions, and people period. At least there were similarities/commonalities with the main groups who've been in the US before the borders busted open.

We became flooded with the above with the 1965 Immigration Act which did change our demographics and all the other things you mentioned above due to Ted Kennedy lying that it would not. Assimilation was still more of the norm though rather than today with massive illegal immigration. This country has changed forever now and not in a good way due to the latter.

Multiculturalism absolutely does not work and has never worked throughout history.

Ted Kennedy and Dean Rusk knew exactly what they were doing in 1965. Ted Kennedy stated on the Senate floor, “The Immigration Act will not fundamentally change America”. He straight up lied to us all. But what does he care? He’s dead and in the ground and doesn’t have to deal with the fallout.

All multiculturalism does is lead to tribalism, which leads in many cases to war.

I feel like it is too late for us and the country will never be the same.

My hope is that we can have a peaceful transition as we slide towards Balkanization.
